Cool Dual feed CP3

So i put a brand new CP3 44% more flow pump on my truck. After i put it on i realized i get a slight vibration when i put a load on it. I got a similar reaction before i put my ATS arc flow on it. It seemed to happen when i had the edge on level 4. It was bucking a little while putting a load on it. After i put the arc on it went away. I think it was to much fuel and not enough air. I'm wondering if by putting the dual feed cp3 on i now need to put or clean my air filter. Any suggestions what this slight vibration might be?

Sounds like not enough air, what kind of boost are you pulling? How much black smoke?

ya right around 45-65 mph. i found two small spider cracks in my exhaust manifold. i'm taking the truck up north for the weekend hoping it will hold up. would a manifold do that make it feel sluggish around those speeds?

Ya it could, but my guess is your not getting enough air. You also could have a plugged injector. How does it start? What are your EGT's?

i would bet the problem is with the chip, almost all chips on 3rd gen's are natorious for surging/bucking, your best bet would be to contact edge and see if there are any updates or programs availble, most of the time they can help out with the problem,
as far as the arc flow helping with the problem... well, it shouldnt, thoes things are really only good for adding ports for water/meth, gauges, ect, and really dont improve air flow or power...
